Welcome đ Bienvenidos

! [English Version] Getting a job as a cleaner is the first line of work that springs to mind when we find ourselves in a desperate financial situation, as is the case with our protagonist: a young woman who lives in her car, showers and tries to wash herself in the public toilets at petrol stations.
Showing scenes of dire financial straits is a very effective opening hook to hold the audienceâs attention, as we viewers are all waiting to see how events unfold. Questions such as: âWhat will she do now?â, âWhat important decision will she make?â, âWill she get the job she applied for?â are what keep anticipation high.
Thatâs why my heart was pounding, even though I knew nothing about this woman or character; I just wanted her to get a job and for her situation to improve. Until it seemed to me that sheâd found something too good to be true: she was interviewed by a woman looking for a housekeeper to look after a few things in her mansion, which she apparently kept in perfect condition herself. If the owner can organise and keep everything so lovely, why canât she? Working as a maid in a mansion, enjoying the luxuries, the good food and earning a high salary is a great job that anyone would want.
Only three people live in that mansion: a married couple and their eight-year-old daughter. The husband is the perfect man, a Prince Charmingâphysically handsome, wealthy and well-educatedâand, as if that werenât enough, he also loves children, even if they arenât his own. đ, well, the girl is his wifeâs.
The lady of the house is an elegant, kind, unassuming and physically beautiful woman, but she has emotional problems, panic attacks and delusions. These issues emerged after hiring the young maid, and from that point on we began to see that the job wasnât going to be so easy.
And the little girl, who is spoilt by her stepfather, is a bit spoiled, but nothing that canât be managed. At first, the maid was happy to get the job, but then she realised it was a mistake; she wanted to resign, but found herself involved with the husband, which complicated everything.
The maid was a quiet, solitary woman. With no family and no boyfriend, and a compromising past, which is why it was difficult for her to find any other kind of work. She carried the trauma of her adolescence; she had learnt to look after herself and others if they needed her help, and it was because of this quality that she was hired by the lady of the house.
The descriptions just mentioned are the characteristics of three distinct characters who come together to star in the film titled La Empleada; it is a story of psychological stress, drama, suspense, mystery and, for me, horror due to the amount of gore in some scenes featuring graphic violence.
The entire story is wrapped up in a trio of psychological manipulation, gender-based violence and lies. As the characters develop, we realise that money and reputation can sometimes be mere facades for self-centred personalities and the mentally ill.
The story begins with events that may be inspired by real life, but then the fiction becomes more pronounced, blending the genres of suspense, horror and gore, and even venturing into black humour and sarcasm. I liked it because I couldnât guess the plot throughout the film, and it also has some very surprising dramatic twists. Itâs good; I recommend it, though itâs not for everyone.
Iâve written this review carefully to avoid spoilers. If youâve already seen it, tell me about your experience â see you in the comments.
Conseguir trabajo de domĂ©stica es el primer empleo que pensamos cuando estamos en una situaciĂłn econĂłmica apremiante, como es el caso de nuestra protagonista que es una mujer joven que vive en su auto, se ducha e intenta limpiar su cuerpo en los baños pĂșblicos de gasolineras.
Mostrar escenas de situaciones econĂłmicas fuertes es un gancho inicial muy bueno para mantener la atenciĂłn del pĂșblico, pues todos los espectadores estamos esperando ver cĂłmo se desarrollan los hechos, preguntas como: ÂżQuĂ© harĂĄ ahora?, ÂżQuĂ© decisiĂłn importante tomarĂĄ?, ÂżconseguirĂĄ el empleo al cual se postulĂł? Son las que mantienen la expectativa en alta.

Por eso, yo tenĂa el corazĂłn palpitando fuerte sin saber nada de esta mujer o personaje, solo querĂa que consiguiera trabajo y su situaciĂłn mejorarĂĄ. Hasta que me pareciĂł que encontrĂł algo muy bueno para ser real, fue entrevistada por una mujer que buscaba una domĂ©stica para atender algunas cosas de su mansiĂłn que al parecer ella misma mantenĂa en perfecto estado. Si la dueña logra organizar y tener todo tan lindo porque ella no. Trabajar de domĂ©stica en una mansiĂłn, disfrutar de los lujos, la buena comida y tener un sueldo alto es un buen empleo bueno que cualquiera quisiera tener.
En esa mansiĂłn solo viven 3 personas, un matrimonio y su hija de 8 años. El esposo es el hombre perfecto, un prĂncipe azul, hermoso fĂsicamente, adinerado y educado y no conforme con esto tambiĂ©n le gustan los niños aunque no sean de Ă©l. đ, pues la niña es de su esposa.

La señora de la casa, es una mujer elegante, amable, sencilla y bella fĂsicamente pero con problemas emocionales, ataques de pĂĄnico y delirios. Eventos que aparecieron despuĂ©s de emplear a la joven domĂ©stica, ya por ahĂ comenzamos a ver que el trabajo no iba a ser tan fĂĄcil.
Y la niña que es consentida por el padrastro, algo malcriada, pero nada que no se pueda manejar. Al principio la empleada estaba feliz de obtener el trabajo, pero después se dio cuenta de que era un error, ella quiso renunciar, pero se vio involucrada con el esposo complicando todo.

La empleada era una mujer tranquila, solitaria. Sin familia y sin novio, con un pasado comprometedor razĂłn por la cual era difĂcil que encontrara otro tipo de trabajo. Ella cargaba con un trauma de adolescencia, habĂa aprendido a cuidar de sĂ misma y de los demĂĄs si necesitaban su ayuda por esta cualidad es que fue empleada por la señora de la casa.
Las descripciones que acabĂł de mencionar son las caracterĂsticas de tres personajes distintos que se unen para protagonizar la pelĂcula titulada La Empleada, es una historia de estrĂ©s psicolĂłgico, drama, suspenso, misterio y para mi terror por la cantidad de gore que existe en algunas escenas con violencia grĂĄfica.
Toda la historia estĂĄ envuelta en un trĂo de manipulaciĂłn psicolĂłgica, violencia de gĂ©nero y mentiras. Con el desarrollo de los personajes nos damos cuenta de que el dinero y la reputaciĂłn a veces pueden ser fachadas de personalidades egocĂ©ntricas y enfermos mentales.

La historia comienza con hechos que pueden ser inspirados por reales, pero luego la ficciĂłn se hace mĂĄs marcada uniendo los gĂ©neros de suspenso, terror y gore, cayendo incluso en el humor negro y el sarcasmo. Me gustĂł porque no pude adivinar la trama durante la pelĂcula, ademĂĄs posee unos giros dramĂĄticos muy sorpresivos. Es buena la recomiendo con la salvedad que no es para todo tipo de pĂșblico.
Realicé la reseña con cuidado para no dar espóiler, si ya la viste cuéntame tu experiencia nos vemos en los comentarios.
